New restaurant alert: Chandigarh’s first all vegan and gluten-free restaurant V-Spot

29th November, 2022

The recent pandemic has increased the demand for plant-based foods as even retail sales of products like milk substitutes and meat substitutes have increased dramatically, especially in Asia and Western nations. Vegans avoid eating and using any products that use or contain animal products or components. So, going vegan has just as much to do with promoting environmental sustainability and reducing animal cruelty as it does with improving one's health. An incredible 40% of Indians avoid meat, which is surprising given the dearth of vegan eateries that cater to this market. However, that is quickly shifting and the newest city to have a 100% vegan café is Chandigarh.

For the uninitiated, V-Spot is the city’s first all vegan and gluten-free restaurant. When compared to regular eating, plant-based fare is incredibly delectable. Nevertheless, it is much needed in a region known for its abundantly rich and heavy cuisines that aren’t light on the gut or your stomach. Read on to know more about this unique food hub.

V-Spot's USP

If good and nutritious meals featuring a variety of raw vegan, gluten-free, and light cooked vegan alternatives are what you seek, then you will be delighted to find this location in Chandigarh, Punjab. The name of this café refers to the meals it provides. They offer a wide selection on their menu. Both the meal and the service are excellent. Options for vegetarians: This cafe is acceptable for those who avoid dairy and meat. Beyond only eating vegan, it's also important to feel vegan. V Spot Cafe will instruct you in this.

It's a great destination for vegans because the entire menu is well-organized and offers plenty of excellent choices. Even if non-vegans are welcome to visit this restaurant once, doing so could open their palates to new flavours and alter their opinions about vegan meals.

Their Food Highlights

The menu at V-Spot, which is entirely vegetarian and vegan, is based on whole, unprocessed ingredients and dairy substitutes like almond, soy, and coconut milk. For the most part, wheat is replaced with rice, red lentil, and almond flour by gluten-intolerant people. Their creamy dips and cheese, including feta and mozzarella, are made with cashews, almonds, and soy. The cuisine is consistently bad here. The food would be amazing, incredibly fresh, and incredibly delicious if you ordered patient pesto pasta and a sacred Mexican wrap.

Your fast favourite may be the Mexican wrap, even the chipotle side dip is excellent. But if you ask us, you will enjoy their sprouted quinoa wrap filled with falafel, vegetables, and hummus. It would be incredibly tasty and easy on the stomach. The standout are their cold pressed juices!

Seating and ambiance

The architecture of this brand-new vegan café with a suggestive name is exquisite. After visiting this location, you'll be as giddy in happiness as a schoolgirl. From the delectable cuisine, breath-taking visuals, stunning interiors, and top-notch hospitality. This location has raised the bar. Glossy green and white tiles cover the majority of the eatery's visible surfaces, showing that they take the sustainable idea seriously. A few tables and chairs are arranged across the entrance wall in semi-circular alcoves for fixed seating.

The layout and atmosphere may not be to your taste if you find some of the seats are uncomfortable and the walls are tiled, giving the room a slightly cramped feeling. However, the positive portion sizes appear to be a greater crowd pleaser. Their meals are especially endorsed for vegans!

A haven for gut health

Your gut will tell you that this area is a food heaven. The brand believes that your digestive system would be happy as a clam after being served by them. If you enjoy eating home-cooked meals, this eatery features nutritious, fresh ingredients that your body (not just your stomach) will enjoy. Being a cleanliness fanatic, it is excellent in hygiene as well. The nicest part of the space is their interiors,which are a complete eye soother and instantly shift your energy to positivity. Those vegetables are healing your gut and soothe your soul. On point with sustainability, as well for their services are excellent. V-Spot's presence in Chandigarh is fortunate.

The new menu, though, can be a little confusing for newcomers. For instance their dark mocha, can be a bit bitter for coffee drinkers. The macaroni and cheese (including gluten) is a safer bet. You can also always ask their servers all your questions about the menu.

Type of Cuisine
 

Here, you may expect healthier versions of primarily Western cuisine, particularly for fresh juices and soups. There will be hors d'oeuvres, pastas, pizzas, salads, and wraps (mainly rice-flour fettuccine). You can also order a few open sandwiches, risottos, and sides, as well as freshly brewed coffees, teas, and one dessert. You can buy yourself some Radiant cauliflower wings, an energising salad, the Energy Pizza, and a Heavenly dessert, all of which are named after words that describe wellness. A round of coffee, tea, muffins, and oatmeal cookies can be tasted as well if you wish to keep it light.

The Verdict
 

The portions are sufficient, and the service staff is polite when serving the food. You can eagerly anticipate their cauliflower wings, which are roasted to a light crisp and served with a delectable cashew dip. The flavour and texture deliciousness of the peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, chick-peas, and avocado in the Mediterranean salad with a lemon-parsley dressing has been slightly muted. The marinara-smeared red lentil foundation of the thin-crust pizza with generous amounts of zucchini and cherry tomatoes is intriguing for pizza lovers!
